More raw vegetables! - one of my resolutions as we rolled into 2017. Easy to say, and even easier for that decision to slip away in the day to day routine.I realized even if I made the effort a few days a week it would be an improvement. Every little bit counts. Every little bit adds up.

At the top of the list was to add more dark leafy greens (the kale crisps are a tasty option), second only to more celery! I have been reading so much on the tremendous health benefits of celery so I keep looking for interesting ways to add it in.

Reduces inflammation Detoxes Helps prevent kidney stones Aids digestion Loaded with vitamins, minerals and fiberI chop it into tuna, egg or chicken salad, tossed salads, soup, jambalaya, but recently I have been experimenting with my magic bullet for breakfast... blending a stalk or two with a combination of the following that I have on hand: carrots, bananas, frozen strawberries, orange juice, yogurt, etc.

I like to play and make different combos each time to see what I can create.My favorite is 1 stalk of celery1 carrot6 frozen strawberries2 oz of OJ2 ice cubes.Refreshing and inspiring!

About Me

I am wife and mom, living in a quirky 90 year old house, with a full social life, a start up business, a burning need to draw and paint and… I have celiac disease.
Following a strict and super clean gluten free diet makes all of the above possible – well, at least it makes the attempt possible.
I can say this…it is well worth the trouble of following a gluten free lifestyle to have no migraines, no bone pain and the energy not only to enjoy my daughter, but the ability to get out of bed and face each day. And its the only way I would have anything left for my art. My art - that keeps me connected, grounded and whole.
